WHat a great cause. Mary sure has a “golden heart!”
She sure does. She is a legend,but she has never forgotten where she came from or how she came up! She sponsors underprivileged school girls in Detroit as one of her charities.
A different interview, same event:

All very commendable i'm sure, but i prefer it when stars do their good deeds in a more quiet and dignified manner rather than as yet another publicity stunt. It is far less vulgar to perform these good deeds without it having to be yet another photo opportunity. Just saying.
Jesus Christ did many good deeds and the World knows about them....... Come again!Quote:

Thankfully they appear to be drying up as rapidly as the sales of the book are, and then i suspect you will revert to posting old interviews again which i shall not be watching either.Quote:

You do realize that you're basically mirroring Marv's behavior that you're so critical about, right?Quote:

She specifically requested that it be kept out of the press. This is just one of several instances where she donated considerable amounts of money to children's charities. This is a side of Diana that few people hear about. It is a very classy and dignified way of helping those less fortunate.Quote:

Well the fact that I get sick of your obvious hatred of Mary Wilson and the constant passive aggressive digs you take at her while claiming you wish her no ill will, I don't block you for the same reason I didn't block Marv until he blocked me and then I removed him when I did a blanket unblocking of most of the people on my list on a "let bygones be bygones" tip. You and I always get along regarding the Supremes and other musical subjects even when we disagree, and I generally look forward to whatever it is you have to say about the music. But I'll take your question of "Then why not block me" as a suggestion and a wish and grant it. Fuck you and consider yourself blocked.Quote:

This was an award dinner honoring Smokey Robinson. This was not Mary's charity event, but I guess you can't really read, watch or hear the videos. So sad.....Quote:
